Now we see a purple tiger stripe

Of course my dear wife Karen and I both hold our breath after putting the new plants into the ground at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. I do not think we need worry much about the tiger lily chosen by George Three for her Mother’s Day present. Soon after we put…

Soon to be swimming?

My dear wife Karen is carrying on with her late springtime mission at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. The cover is off our in-ground pool as our first summer since moving from the Syracuse neighborhood of Eastwood approaches. She located the man who closed the pool right before we moved in…

So many new plants to color A Bitty Better

My dear wife Karen’s weekly food run to the local supermarket got sidetracked. I’d had my suspicion as the clock ticked on, but the text I received from Ballantyne Gardens over on Hopkins Road cemented the deal. I admired the plant in the photo she sent over. Little did I know how much more there’d…

Diamonds aren’t forever

The diamond is mowed into the front lawn of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. I pushed our red mower through the final diagonal, the fourth and last of the pattern I’ll establish in this first summer since moving from The Little Bitty in the Syracuse neighborhood of Eastwood. Final verdict? It…

Happy Memorial Day! And Go Terps Go

We salute those that served us today. Happy Memorial Day from A Bitty Better in the Liverpool, N.Y., neighborhood of Galeville. My dear wife Karen and I included a flagpole yesterday among our holiday weekend purchases. And when we got home, I mounted the bracket on the fence at the back of our driveway and…

Galeville boasts resourceful squirrels

Out one recent morning with my iPad Pro in my hand, a commotion in the neighbor’s yard to the right caught my eyes and ears. A squirrel was hoisting a piece of white bread or somesuch as big as it was up a tree. Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville squirrels are extremely strong, I see. Much…

Nichols really does make its own Hot Ham

For the past year, I’ve packed my own lunch every Monday through Thursday so I can get my belly full with food I like, keep to the budget, and make my half-hour limit at the Liverpool Public Library. On Fridays I call out and drive quickly to pick up my takeout Chinese as a treat,…

I decide to go on the diagonal

With the third cut of spring on the front lawn of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville on my plate after work Friday, I had a big decision to make. To diamond, or not? Go the diagonal or keep it straight? I went for the corner. After I got the first set…

Going, going, gone

My dear wife Karen and I aren’t the only one taking rather recent notice of this cool Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. With just a little more than a half-year in since our move from the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood, we noticed two houses a couple blocks away from A Bitty Better going up for…

Better off red

I have to hand it to the owners of this yard. As Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle and I circled A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville after my May workday, this circle of red caught our eyes and caused us to linger. Nice.
